What it does

Matlab Build Industrial Hmi is an agent skill from matlab/matlab-agentic-toolkit. Build industrial-grade SCADA/HMI dashboards in MATLAB following industrial-HMI conventions (ISA-101-aligned): gray-field philosophy, alarms at source, write safeguards, fixed-range trends, drill-down layout. Produces a real App Designer app (.mlapp, or plain-text .m+.xml on R2026b+) by handing serialization to the matlab-build-app skill when available, and falls back to a programmatic .m app otherwise. Use when wrapping OPC UA / Modbus / MQTT / OSI PI / PI AF monitoring scripts into a live operator app, building…

Its SKILL.md is about 5.6k tokens, which your agent loads only when the skill is triggered. The skill folder holds 14 other files, including reference files (for example `manifest.yaml`, `references/alarm-patterns.md` and `references/app-designer-gotchas.md`).

It sits in Development. The repository describes itself as: The MATLAB Agentic Toolkit brings proven MATLAB capabilities to AI agents, making engineering and scientific workflows agent-ready.

When your agent uses it

  • Wrapping OPC UA / Modbus / MQTT / OSI PI / PI AF monitoring scripts into a live operator app
  • Building plant overviews
  • Designing operator dashboards
  • Any time a user asks for a SCADA dashboard

Example prompts

  • “SCADA dashboard”
  • “plant dashboard”
  • “operator screen”
  • “/matlab-build-industrial-hmi”

Workflow steps

9 steps, taken from the first numbered list in SKILL.md.

  1. Classify each node / tag / attribute — binary, enumerated, analog with range, analog without range, writable, alarm thresholds…
  2. Pick widgets via the decision flowchart, cross-checking quantity caps. → references/widget-selection-flowchart.md.
  3. Lay out by hierarchy — Level 1 plant overview, Level 2 area, Level 3 detail; row 1 reserved for the persistent alarm banner. →…
  4. Wire live data per protocol — OPC UA subscribe() (self-written callback = 2-arg cb(sub, notification); an Explorer-generated…
  5. Configure alarms at source AND in a banner, latched with Acknowledge. → references/alarm-patterns.md.
  6. Configure trends — 5-minute window, fixed YLim, threshold lines. → references/trend-config-reference.md.
  7. Add write safeguards on every setpoint — confirm, range label, flash feedback. → references/write-safeguards-reference.md.
  8. Serialize to a real App Designer app. If matlab-build-app is available, hand the design to its AppDesignerAgentInterface and emit a .mlapp…
  9. Verify: launch, exercise, close cleanly. Use mcpmatlabevaluate_matlab_code to instantiate the app and exercise delete(app); confirm no…

What it can do on your machine

Read from SKILL.md and the folder at commit 69e71df. It shows what the files ask for, not the result of running them.

  • Tool permissions

    Pre-approves nothing: there is no allowed-tools line, so your agent's usual permission prompts apply.

    From allowed-tools in the SKILL.md frontmatter.

  • Runs code

    No scripts in the folder and no shell commands in SKILL.md (its code samples are matlab).

    From the folder's file list and the shell code blocks in SKILL.md.

  • Network

    No URLs in SKILL.md.

    From URLs in SKILL.md, links to its own repository left out.

  • Credentials

    Names no API keys, tokens, secrets or passwords.

    From names ending in _API_KEY, _TOKEN, _SECRET, _KEY or _PASSWORD in SKILL.md.

Context cost

Matlab Build Industrial Hmi loads about 5.6k tokens when it runs, and up to ~43k if it reads all its reference files. Until then it costs about 256 tokens; SKILL.md has 2,482 words of instructions outside code blocks.

Always · name and description, kept in context so the agent knows when to use it
~256
When it runs · the whole SKILL.md, loaded when a task matches
~5.6k
With references · SKILL.md plus every file in references/, read only if the agent opens them
~43k

Estimates: characters ÷ 4, the usual rule of thumb; real counts depend on the model's tokenizer. Scripts and assets cost tokens only if the agent reads them.

Safety

Auto-check passed

The automated check found no risky patterns in SKILL.md.

Automated static check — not a guarantee. Review scripts before installing. It scans the text of SKILL.md for risky patterns (piping downloads into a shell, reading credential files, hidden Unicode, destructive commands); files beside SKILL.md are not scanned.

SKILL.md

Its licence (Custom licence) doesn't allow us to republish the file, so here is its outline and opening line. It has 2,482 words (~5,592 tokens).

“Build operator-facing SCADA/HMI dashboards in MATLAB App Designer that follow industrial-HMI conventions: gray-field color philosophy, alarms shown at the data source, write safeguards on every setpoint, fixed-range trends with threshold lines, and a drill-down layout (plant overview → area →…”
